I can’t ignore this anymore! Something should be done about it!

We have about two dozen women in our FC and I polled them on this topic. The consensus was, they think the Mi'quote look fine

When a woman says "It's fine." It's not fine.

You just made my day, sister.

Wow this thread is still going strong.
Heck yeah! XDD
As a side note... It's not only the Miqote behinds that were shaved off, ALL of them were shaved off...males and females, but it is noticed more for females since they have hips that don't match the behind. =-=;

Obligatory FFXIV 1.0/2.0 comparison pic.


You can see how the butt has been "squished" in and the pelvis is at an odd angle.

Absolutely, I remember my 1.0 character having a much nicer rear-end than this version! I sincerely hope they revise the character models in the future.

My main problem is actually this:

Hmmm. I'm looking at this picture trying to figure out what's wrong:

Sleeping in a mask
Sleeping in a Robe... oh, the robe physics aren't working...
Apparently some of the body is missing (noticed this as well when equipping anything in the game that has a see-through piece)

Personally, my biggest problem with that picture is that when you do go to bed, it locks the camera.

When I first saw the Miquo’te race in 1.0 I was amazed, they looked so incredible. The theme and art was brilliant. This Human shaped cat girl appearance is why I chose the race back then, they had such nice looking body shapes in 1.0.

You forget that at that time there was a camp who complained about female Miqo'te because of the fact that they look like human-shaped catgirls and wished they were more cat-like. I wasn't one of them, but I remember rolling my eyes whenever they made their presence known.

While I sympathize with this thread, I also feel the modeling team looks at this and collectively shudders at the idea of having to re-weight, resize, re-animate and re-do physics for every piece of leg gear and a lot of torso gear currently in the game only because some people want miqo'te butts to be bigger.

It's a worthy cause (channeling Sir Mi-a-lot and everything), but it is also very intensive. That and I earlier mentioned issues low-poly models have with physics in that part of the body.

It's tragic that this is a thread with 75 pages, and it's tragic that there are that many people bothered by a virtual ass on their characters. Christ, haven't you got better things to be doing than sitting around moping about the fact that your mi'qote hasn't got a ghetto booty. More so for the original poster, who actually went so far as to create images, detailing every minute detail. Get a life!

In the word of Mr. Spock: "This is... illogical."

If the bust slider is any indication, you wouldn't need to redo anything, because the game already compensates for it.

Who said anything about "ghetto booty" Oo
I just want something that looks "normal" not anorexic.

Also, I believe everyone knows by now that "gamers" are a fickle breed. We don't do what you would call "getting a life." We instead do things like creating spreadsheets about how to most efficiently do damage, how to do something in the shortest time possible, and how to min/max everything in the game.

Hardly "normal" to anyone who plays games on the side, but if you enter the gamers' world, you better be prepared for our "normal" because here you're the strange one.
